I'm almost two weeks out (banded 10/30) and just in the last day or so I feel like I've been able to eat more than I have been. Tomorrow is my first post-op appt and I'm wondering if I can go ahead and ask for a fill. I'm not eating anything that's not on the post-op diet list, I can just tell that I've over-eaten once or twice.

My surgeon won't fill before 6 weeks out. He said I needed time to heal from the surgery.

This time is known as Bandster Hell, and not without reason. You have a powerful tool just sitting there and you really want to use it! But you need to be fully healed after the surgery before getting a fill.

My surgeon would have given me a fill if I needed it at the 2 week post op appointment, but I didn't need it. If you tell them how miserably hungry you are and let them know what you are eating, they may do it. Depends on the surgeon.
